Cricket 2024: Your Go‑to Guide for All the Action

If you love cricket, 2024 is shaping up to be a packed year. From ICC events to regional leagues, there’s a match every weekend and plenty of stories to follow. This page pulls together the most useful info so you never miss a beat.

What’s Happening in Cricket 2024?

The biggest headline is the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup qualifiers that will decide which African teams join the main tournament. South Africa, Kenya and Namibia are all fighting for those spots, and the games are streaming live on local sports channels.

At the same time, the new Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season kicks off in August, bringing star players like Rashid Khan and Jos Buttler to African fans via online platforms. The CPL’s fast‑paced format fits perfectly with the growing demand for short, exciting cricket.

Domestic leagues are also stepping up. The South African Cricket Association announced a revamped T20 competition that will run from September to December, featuring eight provincial sides and a prize pool of over R5 million. Expect higher salaries, better stadiums and more night games.

Where to Watch Live Cricket 2024

The easiest way to catch live cricket is through the official ICC app. It offers free highlights and a low‑cost subscription for full match streams, including all qualifying matches in Africa.

If you prefer TV, DStv’s SuperSport still holds the broadcast rights for most international fixtures. The channel adds local commentary and occasional behind‑the‑scenes interviews that give extra context to each game.

For cord‑cutters, platforms like FanCode, ESPN cricinfo and even YouTube channels run by cricket boards provide reliable streams. Just check the schedule ahead of time; most services update their listings a week before each match.

Beyond watching, you can stay engaged on social media. Follow @ICCWorldCup and local accounts like @CSAofficial for live score updates, player interviews and fan polls. Engaging with these feeds often unlocks exclusive giveaways such as match‑day tickets or signed merchandise.

If you’re a budding cricketer, 2024 also brings new coaching clinics across major African cities. The ICC partners with local schools to run free sessions in June and July, focusing on batting technique and fast‑ball bowling.

Don’t forget the women’s game. The Women’s T20 World Cup qualifiers are scheduled for March, and several African nations have already qualified. These matches will be streamed on the same platforms as the men’s games, giving you a full view of cricket’s growth across genders.

Finally, keep an eye on player transfers. After a strong 2023 season, a few South African stars are moving to franchise teams in India and Australia. These moves often shift team dynamics and can affect how national squads perform later in the year.
